Great professor who is very approachable. The TAs are hit or miss but if you are familiar with the readings and contribute you'll do fine.

This class is very much a history class and less so a theology class. The lectures are pretty boring and the material is thrown at you very quickly, but I've found that the material we learned has been useful to know in other areas of my education and life in general. Warren gives you very solid study guides so that there is no room for question as to what will be on the test, so long as you complete these and memorize the dates you can get an A. Be sure to know what your specific TA is looking for in your responses though, since they are all short answer and can get picky about what you must include.
Easy Class but you must know EVERYTHING from the review sheet. Easy to get an A-. Professor Warren is very nice, but talks fast during lecture.
Heather Warren is an incredible person and professor. Although her lectures are as dry as a desert, she really wants everyone to do well in her class. It is incredibly easy and consists of 2 midterms, a final, and a discussion participation grade. She practically gives out the test in advance so if you complete the study guide, the exams are cake. Interesting material, incredible TA (Patrick Derdall) and very easy.
The professor is amazing, and the reading isn't actually necessary if you can bs your way through discussion because before each exam she hands out a list of all possible test questions, about half of which will be on the actual exam. Just make a study guide (or look one up on Quizlet), memorize it, and you're guaranteed an A without having done any reading.
This is my favorite class to recommend. Professor Warren is so awesome, and even though the material can be a little dry sometimes, she is always cracking jokes and making funny comments. I took this class in the fall and her other class (RELG 2160) in the spring, and they are two of the best classes I've taken here. The reading isn't super necessary and before every test she gives you a review sheet that has everything that could be on the test, which really isn't much at all, so its very easy to do well. She's also just a great person, and offered to let students come over for thanksgiving if they didn't have other plans. Take this class!
Professor Warren is great. She's a very interesting lecturer and she does a great job of delivering very thorough information. Coming to lectures is crucial to doing well in her class, though non-discussion readings are unnecessary. In addition, she gives you the test in advanced which is really nice. If you come to class every day, engage in discussion sections, and do a thorough job on the review sheets, this class is both easy and rewarding.
This was one of my favorite classes. Prof. Warren is an amazing lecturer and she really knows the subject well. Every class is a pretty intense 50 minutes; you are basically scribbling notes nonstop. Normally I'd end up with a good three to four pages of notes. But it is totally worth it since there is really not that much work outside of class. Just don't expect her to put up notes on powerpoints or anything, you really have to pay attention. The material was interesting and eye-opening.
She basically gives out all the possible test questions on a study guide. It's graded harshly, but if you study beforehand it is no problem. And I would recommend writing down all of your answers beforehand and showing them to your TA so that you don't miss anything.
Discussion was pretty good also, that probably depends on your TA.
Overall, I highly recommend this class. It's not easy, but it's pretty straightforward and I learned a lot. If you attend the lectures and take notes you will get a good grade.
It's evident that Professor Warren is really passionate about what she teaches, and she gives out a "study guide" for every exam.
The class seems like it should be relatively easy because professor Warren gives you a review sheet with everything you need to know about each test on it, however Nauman graded the tests ridiculously hard and makes the class way more difficult than it should be. However if you are able to get a TA that isnt extremely picky on the tests, then the class is actually very interesting.
